The Minnesota Vikings are the latest team in town to join the Lynx bandwagon, teaming up with the Lynx for Game 1 of the WNBA Finals, presented by Boost Mobile. In support of the Lynx, the Vikings have purchased 500 upper level tickets for Sunday’s Game 1 to give away to fans for free. Beginning Wednesday at 8 a.m., the first 250 fans that call in to 612-673-8400 will have the opportunity to receive a pair of free tickets, limit two per customer, courtesy of the Minnesota Vikings.

“We’re happy to partner with the Vikings as we continue our stretch run of the Road to Repeat,” said Timberwolves and Lynx President Chris Wright. “The support we’ve received from the community is tremendous this season. We hope that everyone who hasn’t had a chance to come down to Target Center will take this great opportunity to see the Lynx as they continue to make history.”

The Lynx, who finished the regular season a league-best 27-7 for the second consecutive season, swept the Sparks to clinch their second Western Conference Championship in as many years on Sunday. Minnesota enters this season’s Finals attempting to become the first team in the last decade to repeat as WNBA Champions (Los Angeles, 2001 and 2002). Game 1 of the WNBA Finals is Sunday, October 14 at Target Center at 7 p.m. on ESPN2.

Single-game tickets for the WNBA Finals, presented by Boost Mobile, range from $25 ($20 for season ticket holders and $22 for groups of 10 or more) to $225 ($205 for season ticket holders). Tickets are available by calling the Lynx Front Office at 612-673-8400, in person at the Target Center Box Office and all Ticketmaster outlets or by visiting www.lynxbasketball.com.
